Manchester, New Hampshire
7:40 P.M., Clark HQ: As Iowans are getting settled into their caucus rooms, Wesley Clark is working the New Hampshire phone banks. Just in from South Carolina, the general has come to spend the night with his troops. Dressed casually in a gray-green cable sweater and black cap-toe shoes, Clark does something impressive right off the bat–he keeps his mouth shut.
While the voters on the other end of the line yammer on about healthcare and corporate America, Clark listens intently. Not just intently, mind you, but earnestly and without trying to break in or lecture. Like Joe Klein’s Bill Clinton, Clark puts the big ears on and, as a listener, he’s captivating–totally focused on his subject.

Except for the lower half of his body. Beneath the table, Clark keeps knocking his knees together and tapping his toes at approximately 74 beats per minute.
